Montesa

With the standard oil levels as per manual I find the forks pull up fairly suddenly on compression and are not reaching full stroke during a ride. I am thinking of reducing the oil level slightly to reduce the air spring pressure on full compression. I presume the left (spring) leg is the one that controls the final stroke, is that correct?? Have any light weight riders reduced the oil level and if so how much??

Found a 1997 Montesa Cota 315R on E-bay...selling for

Hi, I’ve just picked up a 2nd long range tank ready for the SSDT (I hope). Can anyone recommend what paints I should use on it. The last owner painted it but it all blistered and came off when filled with fuel? Thanks

Evenin Y'all! Im looking for a petrol tap for a 1999 tank (The carbon firbe one) although I assume a 98/00 (maybe more?) will fit. Anyone have one lying about for sale? Thanks! Matt Tolley

Hi all... bear with me on this one..'cause i dont really know what Im talking about!! My year 2000 Montesa 315 has quite a noticeable rattle to the engine note..(gets slightly less when warm). A few people here told me its probably the crank? bearing??..and they reckon it is common on these bikes. I also mentioned to a mate that I guess its difficult to replace (for someone crap with spanners such as I)...but he reckoned there might be a shop in the UK that would kind of do you a swap. i.e ..instead of changing the bearing, I would send me crank....they keep mine, and they send me another with a new bearing already in it. If anyone has any advice..I'd really appreciat…

Does anyone have the top end big bore with 11 cc (299) ? Can I have feedback on the product? I m considering to put one in my 300rr. Would that put any harm on the bike? Note: it also has a titanium pipe. Thanks

Hi, I have a montesa 310 which I used to ride a lot a few years ago, but it has been sitting in my garage since then. I am trying to get it running again but can't remember if it is a 2 or 4-stroke? and what fuel mix? Also I don't suppose anyone knows where i can find a manual for it?

hello, new to this site and trials! have a 98 cota 315r ( fantastic bike) however can anyone tell me how much oil and which wieght for the forks please

I would like to install the Termignoni muffler and header pipe on a 2022 Montesa 301RR. Does anyone know the part numbers for these two parts ?

Hi all,i have a 4rt and want to put her on a diet!!!! Anyone got any good tips to shed a few kilos of the old fat lass with out braking the bank??? Cheers Benz

I have a 2004 montesa 315 that is very hard to start,once it starts and is warm it starts right up.The choke feels limp and when it starts cold it does not seem to idle high.Can anyone help.Thanks,Steve

Hey all Just wondering if their is a quick way to identify the throttle bodies from the 4rt? Does the serial number very from a twin map, standard or single programable? Thanks

i have a cota 123 which will not run below half throttle runs ok if you keep throttle open but soon as falls below half cuts out as if no fuel, i have changed the inlet rubber ,points, condenser still same , also am unsure of choke off position up or down any info greatly appreciated,

Hi everyone. Well today I went and bought this Montesa 247 which apparently is a 1978 model. I was wondering if anyone can confirm this. Just a quick couple of questions. Are the tyres tubeless and why are there 2 spark plugs ( one unused). Might be a daft question, maybe more daft ones to follow. Thanks again.

when lugging around in 1st gear every now and then it kicks out of gear for no reason i am new to trials and when it happens with my lack of ability can you say like monkey on a football i need no more distractions LOL do i need to adjust something ...thanks

Hi all, bought a 4rt 2007 model, well used, purchased this more of a test bed to see if I get on with the Mont before buying new! Broke off the left peg today from the frame & noticed the other side is cracked! ......weldable? Looks like its been welded before, any tricks in sorting this, plates etc.. cheers ma dears!

On the way to today's trial when I heard this on the radio. John Wayne,William Shatner and Neil Armstrong were all Montesa owners! I've been around a while but never heard anything like this. Certainly interesting if it is the case. Is it a giant leap for mankind or should Scotty just been me up?

Just wondering what people have done to there 4rt's...

I'm putting a new plug cap on, and the HT lead is looking a bit scabby (and has a suppressor) on what looks like an original coil - can I swap just the lead? Or do I just fit a new generic coil?

Hi whats the most preload you should go before you have to go up a spring rate? ive just wound my stock spring up to 115mm compressed length with the bike off the ground and it’s just starting to feel like front & rear are working at the same speed. Maybe a few more mm and it will be bang on but I don’t want to take it too far and cause damage etc Cheers Andy
